Welcome back to the Pens and Poison Podcast!
This is not your ordinary literature podcast. Join me as I explore the state of humanities education, the publishing industry, and the literary world at large through a series of spicy interviews, hot takes, and literary ramblings.
On today’s episode, we talk to Ricardo Lugo, the founder of Bibliotecando, a platform that explores literature and cultural criticism. We discuss the evolution of Lugo's platform, his favorite authors, the challenges of translation, and the intersection of literature with political realities. Our conversation explores the flaws of utopian ideals, the role of competition in human nature, and the importance of slowing down in a fast-paced world.
Ricardo Lugo writes Bibliotequeando. You can also find him on Instagram and YouTube.
